You should try running a Linux distro. Once you do you will never go back.
>>52045957
Yeah. To Loonix.
Hmm.
>>52045957
Do this, OP. Xubuntu is a good start.

Who gives a fuck. Just switch to Linux you'll love it. This is coming from someone who has been a winfag for ~10 years
>>52045957
I am still waiting for somebody actually admitting something like this.
Like I own 4 Linux machines and play around with RaspPis and shit but goddamn I will NEVER use Linux on my causal machine or any notebook I ever owned.
Okay, maybe "never" is a strong word - let me rephrase that - I will not use Linux until I can do mostly anything without the command line.
>want to use any form of Unix at all but also enjoy video games
Feels bad.

Arma 3 is on linux. What more could you want?

I'm a curious user, that's why I ended up with hackintosh. And of course I tried many various Linux distributions.
I spent most of my time with Xubuntu, Fedora and Arch. Every distro has its own bunch of bugs, weird inconsistencies, and things to fix. The worst part is that things break without your participation. You build your knowledge about Linux not by learning how the OS works, but merely by googling and memorizing/bookmarking the set of patches, commands and hacks what are crucial to the particular edition of the particular distribution.
At least on Windows and OS X you know for sure that it you who fucked up, these systems rarely fail by themselves.

A game that runs well
As much as I appreciate the Linux's freedom and customization possibilities, I can't for the love of me enjoy it as much as Windows.
I grew up with Windows so there's that factor, but holy cow running Diablo II or anything remotely good on Linux is just a pain even for those 10-minute gaming breaks.
I'm not one to build machines from separate components like a technomancer, specially because i need laptops for the runjob and most of the times I tried to install a distro (Ubuntu, Mint, openSUSE, Fedora) they would consume more RAM and CPU than Windows 7.
Not only that but half the components that came working out of the box didn't even have drivers available for those distros.
Again, I really appreciate your effort /g/, but to me Loonix just seems like a Meme OS.

Is there anything free that just werks and fixes alt tab to switch windows instead of processes or windows belonging to processes?
>>52048621
I use Linux on my laptop and it was pretty and expensive. However, I will never use it on my desktop, no questions asked. But Linux on a laptop is actually really nice. The battery conserving part of it can be finniky and the dual graphics can need a blacklisted module or two sometimes, but it lets me get shit done fast. Really really fast. Windows is and may always be the OS to get work done on (might get replaced by OSX), but for uni a laptop is disgustingly nice with Linux.

Also, tiling window managers are a total meme. Just use gnome or some shit. Dam senpai.
>>52049663
Gnome is a power hog, at least on my machine

May I ask why? Is it because the laptop for you is this much of a secondary, web browsing, mail checking machine?

Got a mac for my work. I still have Linux on my home computer. I consider installing Linux on my work computer too, because OSX sucks in comparison for anything related to work.
>>52051240
I have a hard time believing some people actually prefer Linux to OS X. Seriously doubt that.
>>52051297
I do.
Now f*uck off with your propaganda shill.

Is KDE not a customizable DE?

A couple of things that I don't like on OSX:
- Too complicated, there are buttons everywhere and it does not follow an unified logic. Basic things like going to the parent folder, going to the home folder or putting two windows side by side is painfully difficult. I will look into the Spectacle software mentionned ITT, maybe it will make window management less awful.
- The dock is not very intuitive to use. Well, it's very intuitive if you only use Safari and Powerpoint but for very complicated, custom science workflows Openbox menu is way better.
- Poor keyboard integration. You can do some things using the keyboard but it's limited and it's usually a different pathway than using the mouse, so basically you have to memorize tons of keyboard shortcuts. By the way, the keyboard shortcuts are retarded. This is more a hardware problem, but I miss the Page Up buttons etc. I'm not even the clusterfuck that is screenshooting.
-Obviously designed for students. You need to have folders for "movies" and "music" in your home folder. I don't look at movies at work, do you? And of course, there is the usual "documents" folder where you're supposed to put everything actually useful at work (at least at my work). Removing these folders using the command line can prevent other things from running correctly.
- The looks. It used to be decent but the version I use heavily relies on blur which creates ugly gradients depending on what is behind. Come on, OSX designers.
- Incredibly slow and sluggish compared to Openbox. You don't realize it because you never used Openbox, but it's quite obvious.
-Does not even respect my freedoms
To be honnest Openbox is incredibly good, even compared to most Linux DEs which are fairly OSX-tier.
>>52051557
>Openbox is incredibly good
It uses XML for it's configs.
Cum on

So much horseshit in one post, I don't even know where to start.
>Basic things like going to the parent folder
⌘ + ↑
>going to the home folder
⌘ + Shift + H
>putting two windows side by side
El Capitan split view or Hammerspoon (like i3/awesomewm - but better)
>dock is not very intuitive to use
Why the fuck are you even using the dock? Hide that shit and use spotlight like you would use dmenu
>Poor keyboard integration
BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! Out of the box it comes with emacs keybindings prebaked, it works in every fucking app, supports yanking and killing universally in all text fields. It has an entire user definable keybind system (https://github.com/ttscoff/KeyBindings) in place. FAR more consistent than anything you would find in Linux.
>for "movies" and "music" in your home folder
stop nitpicking faggot
>Slow and sluggish compared to Openbox
That is because Openbox is garbage that lacks even the most basic features you would find in other window managers. I could say the same shit about TWM
>Does not even respect my freedoms
Fuck your freedoms
